GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

The criteria have narrowed to three, into which I didn’t fit because the steroid I take isn’t of sufficient strength to get me over the line.

Part of the NHS website showing the three eligibility criteria for a free COVID-19 vaccine: 75 or over, immunosuppressed, or living in a care home for older adults.

A highlighted section of the weakened immune system qualifications, mentioning steroid medicine ‘depending on the dose’.

It’s dispiriting that this is what getting a COVID vaccination now looks like to this chronic asthmatic.

I've said it before: anyone who runs down the job that teachers do, even for such nakedly political reasons rather than from any real place of conviction, (a) should try surviving even a fucking WEEK of it themselves and (b) should then go to the bottom of a well.

Just to say that teachers do an incredibly difficult job, with all the right intentions, and can be the defining influence on a young person's life. They are the exact opposite of poisoners because good teaching provides the antidote to so many dangers

For the first time in my life, this morning I heard a Bob Dylan song I *actually liked*. It wasn’t Bob Dylan. It was John Prine. The search continues.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them
